“Does Bangladesh have a semiconductor industry? We are propelling Assam so far ahead that even those in Bangladesh will be astonished when they visit. They will not be able to grasp or compete with our progress,” he added.
Sarma pointed to the establishment of semiconductor factories as a landmark achievement in Assam’s industrial journey, positioning the state as a hub for technological innovation and a frontrunner in economic growth.
